Riding On The El Train
Posted June 30th, 2007 by JohnAn economic crisis of epic proportions is imminent in 21st century America. In the pages that follow I would like to share with you my vision of America in the midst of a futuristic hyperinflationary depression, cyberpunk-style. The writing is on the wall for those who have eyes to see it. Let these words be a warning. I paint pictures of a dark future in the hope that it may be averted.

In Search Of The Old Gods
Posted July 7th, 2007 by JohnThis is it, the piece that started it all. Sometime in 2004 I received the inspiration for a fictional city of sentient machines built on top of the ruins of Chicago. I called this city Neo Metropolis, and it led me to conceive this site - neometropolis.com
